tire size question
so lets say i have ordered a set of rims that are 18x8.5, now i need tires.
so i am thinking 245/40 or 45/18.
what do u guys think of that size what one would look better on a non lowered sedan. should i be thinking about another size....
i am looking for summer tires only.
next question who has the best deals out there?

If you are trying to match the OE specs of a 17" wheel and 215/55 tires best bet is a 235/45/18 tire. That's almost exactly the same diameter-.06% larger. The next best is a 245/45/18 which is 1.41% larger diameter all around and well within the accepted 3% differential so there should be no problems with VDC or ABS etc. That's probably nice to fill the wells a touch more on non lowered car.
The 245/40/18 is too small a diameter although maybe someone on here has some direct experience with trying this set up. You would need to run a 19" 235/40 for that size tire to match OE. Staggered set up is only for the coupe.

Then you need to look up the tire data to see if it matches your wheel width.
e.g. Tirerack tables.
